The addition of the DLIS-2K and DLIS-4K expands and compliments the existing
According to IC Insights Inc., worldwide image sensor market (whichincludes array and linear image sensors) is expected to grow fromover 7 billion dollars in 2008 to 13.2 billion dollars by 2012. Linear imagers are often used in Spectroscopy, barcode,touch screen, OCR, machine vision, measurement, and otherapplications in consumer, industrial, automotive, and scientificmarkets.
The addition of the DLIS-2K and DLIS-4K expands and compliments the existing linear product line from Panavision Imaging LLC. Thetechnological advances implemented in these products allow forflexibility in image collection and readout, including: ambientlight subtraction, oversampling, non-destructive read mode, binningof different integrations, and a high resolution mode.
"Tower has played a pivotal role in achieving the goals of thisproject. These image sensors were crafted for state-of-the-artperformance through close cooperation with Tower's engineers," said Jeffrey Zarnowski , CTO for Panavision Imaging LLC. "Utilizing Tower's advanced 200mmproduction line enables imaging characteristics previously notavailable in linear imagers and at a highly competitive pricepoint."
"Panavision's patented imager architecture is known for its highperformance by design. We are pleased to complement this designcapability with our advanced pixel IP and ultra-low-noise processplatform," said Dr. Avi Strum , general manager of the specialty product line at TowerSemiconductor. "Combined with our high capacity manufacturingcapability, these advanced linear sensors are targeted to be amongthe market's best selling products."
Utilizing Tower's 0.18-micron technology allows for on chip,bit-selectable, Analog to Digital convertor as well as higher datatransfer rates versus prior products. Tower's APD process and pixelIP exhibit improved charge transfer characteristics, for a highersensitivity over standard photodiodes. The combination of Tower'stechnology and Panavision Imaging architecture enables a 4 X 32micron pixel with sensitivity exceeding 100 V/Lux.Sec.
